concrete building frame - grands moulins de paris

The "Grands Moulins de Paris" was an abandoned industrial mill in Paris, near the d'Austerlitz train station.­ It has being converted into student dorms for the University Paris VII.­

I took those photos shortly before the construction work started.­ So what you see on this photo does not exist anymore.­ This is a vertical view of the roof, taken from the ground.­ The floors were gone, leaving only a maze of concrete beams.­

If you are also interested by urban exploration, i.­e.­ exploring disused buildings and factories, abandoned tunnels, etc, check out www.­urban-resources.­net, an excellent database of photography books and other resources on this subject.­
